The Assignment
To write a script for a short informational multimedia production in which
your reader/viewer/actor experiences meaningful interaction
and reaches an objective. You may choose any subject you
like for your script. No more prescribed scenarios! Your production should
run about 5 to 6 minutes in length.
You should integrate at least four of the following elements:
- sound (for example, sound effects, music, spoken word)
- moving and/or still pictures
- text
- graphics
- animation.
You may integrate any additional elements that you choose. You should use the two-column script format.
Some Tips
Remember that this assignment counts for 20% of your final grade, and write
and plan accordingly. As every minute of production time requires quite extensive
writing, please choose to inform or teach your reader/viewer/actor about a
relatively small, self-contained object or process.
You could select something as simple as interactive instructions for making toast or operating a new version of an ATM or changing a car tire (please, someone help me with this one) or creating an interactive 'Help' section for a tricky computer operation.
Keep the objective simple, and pour your inventiveness into your interactive enactment of the task.
